Post subject: Liw records
I have been looking for information on my grandfather who was born in the town of Liw but I can't find any site that has any record such as marriage,birth or death. His family name is Pietrzyk with a first name of Jancety or Hyacinth. I have always been told that his first name was Jancety but on my father's birth certificate the name listed is Hyacinth. Can anyone help me?

Szukałam informacji na mój dziadek, który urodził się w miejscowości Liw, ale nie mogę znaleźć witryny, która ma jakies demko jak małżeństwa, urodzenia lub zgonu. Jego nazwisko jest Pietrzyk z imienia Jancety lub Hiacynt. Mi zawsze mówiono że jego imię było Jancety ale na świadectwo urodzenia ojca imię wymienione jest Hiacynt. Może ktoś mi pomóc?

Hyacinth and Jacenty are the same name in different languages. The name is of Greek origin. The Latin version is Hyacinthus, the form which would appear in a Roman Catholic Baptismal Register or birth/baptism certificate. Jacenty is the Polish version of that name, although the form Jacek is more frequently used. Hyacinth is the English version of the name.
The English version is very close to the Latin. The Nominative Singular ending, "us" is simply dropped and the English version is simply the stem of the Latin version.
The bottom line is that the three versions are the same name as they appear in the three languages.

Thank you for your explanation of the different first names it now makes more sense why my father had Jacek for the middle name. Do you know where I could find the Roman Catholic Baptismal Registers for the town of Liw in Poland?
